The Troy City Schools Board of Education recognized two high school teams for performances in recent state tournaments and approved contracts for two permanent improvement projects during its monthly meeting Monday, March 14.

Athletic Director Dave Palmer introduced members of the girls’ gymnastics team, which finished sixth in the state tournament, and members of the Division I state champion girls bowling team.

School administrators who attended the tournaments commented on the individual and group efforts of both teams. The teams received applause from the board and those in the audience.

In official business, the board awarded a contract for replacing a portion of the high school roof to Maxim Roofing Co. The company submitted the lowest and best bid for $130,100.

Also approved was a contract with Hemm’s Glass Shop for $39,995 to replace windows at Concord Elementary School. The company also submitted the lowest and best bid for the contract, the board was told. The windows being replaced are located in the building’s old gym and the high windows on the building’s south front.

The board also voted to accept a settlement and release of claims with Reiter Dairy. The settlement is in a lawsuit brought by Southwestern Ohio Educational Purchase Council (EPC) over miscalculations in the pricing of milk between 2010 and 2014. The district will receive $17,837 minus a 3 percent administrative/legal fee to be retained by the EPC.

In other business, district Treasurer Jeff Price said the district’s financial reports are “still tracking well” for the year.

In his report, Superintendent Eric Herman asked the board to approve $15,095 in donations/contributions, bringing the year’s total to nearly $185,000. Many of the donations were for scholarship funds.

Also during the meeting, board members noted voters would decide the district’s 5.8-mill, five-year operating levy in Tuesday’s general election. The levy first was approved in 1996 and has been renewed four times previously.

It generates around $3.4 million annually to help pay for day-to-day operations in the district.
